Sixto, you stated:
If you don't see metal sleeves in the radiator hose necks, save your nickels and dimes for a new radiator within 5 years. Likewise, spray the AC condenser from the engine side forward. If you're more industrious than I am, remove the electric auxiliary fan before spraying the condenser.
Im not sure what you mean about these metal sleeves? Im asking because the radiator is out of my 1994 S350D because of a leak. Im wondering if I should have it boiled out and soldered for $125 or purchase a new one for $300. ANything I should look for to tell if my radiator is still in pretty good shape? Not sure if the shop will be totally honest with me?
